Looking for SFOS3 compatible watch

Hi Sailors, I need help. I am looking for 100% compatible smart watch with my Xperia X, SFOS Rokua.

Could you all, who are using smartwatch with your Jolla reccomend me SPECIFIC tested models of smartwatch working with it?

All I want is - answering calls, making calls, reading incoming sms / writing SMS, see calendar appointments of the day on the watch and maybe reading incoming emails. Nice to have is music control next song / previous / pause, sleep monitor and alarm waking up based on REM phases.

I once tested some china smartwatch, only thing working was making calls and answering calls, which is better than nothing (I cant hear my phone at work), but I think when I want to have smartwatch, it has to work more ways than this.

And one more thing - where Jolla Watch have gone? It was just prototype or what? I searched whole internet and found completely nothing.

Some compatible devices list for Rockpool or Amazfish would be welcome :) Thank you :)

I've been using Pebble Smartwatch with SailfishOS for years. It can decline calls, receive notifications (messages, emails). Music control also works.

which model? there are multiple models - I was thinking about, but I don´t know precise model number. And which app did you use?

An old regular Pebble Smartwatch. No longer produced. I use Rockpool.

I need at least some photo of it, because Pebble made more models. Can you post a picture? Or send some link?

You can also use one from Amazfit, look here for compatibility: https://openrepos.net/content/piggz/amazfish

I have an Amazfit Bip, it works flawlessly with Amazfish from Openrepos.

I also have it, and I think it's awesome. But it doesn't have some of the "must have" features listed in the original post: writing SMS or making calls. Not that I would even want those, but op seems to want them. I think amazfish should have support for calendar notifications, but I have never seen those. But in order to make this comment not look like complaint about things that are missing, here are some of the things tha t do work: reading SMS, declining/muting incoming calls, reading the headers (from, subject) of incoming emails, reading whatsapp messages, music control (next/previous), gps tracking. There is also sleep monitoring, but it's pretty much a joke.

can you help me? I bought amazfit bip, but I cannot pair it. when I tried android phone, dialog appeared, i clicked a tick symbol and it worked instantly, what should I do to get it to eork with amazfish on sfos?

Malakay ( 2020-06-24 17:53:40 +0200 )edit

can someone tell me how to get this to work?

Malakay ( 2020-06-24 20:57:16 +0200 )edit

sleep monitoring? This is the only feature I am interested in - Ville, could you elaborate?

Well, Bip has the sensors, and the data is in the database. It's just that amazfish does not do a good job at interpreting that data. You can look at the sleep hours in the app, but they have quite little to do with reality.

I did one PR, trying to improve it, but it was never accepted. It would need quite a lot of work to get any meaningful information out of the data. I'm sure if someone spent a few days (or nights) improving it, we could get it to give credible results. That's the beauty of open source - you have all the pieces, you can fix it yourself ;)

Another closely related feature in Bip is the "Smart DND" (DND stands for Do Not Disturb), which seems to be working quite well. So it should not wake you up for incoming messages if it detects that you are sleeping.

@Malakay: I had the same problem recently: I updated the watch with an Android phone and the Mi Fit app to the latest firmware, then it paired again. Be sure to wait long and pair it in BT settings before.

I paired already, but problem is that watch disconnects quite often :( and of course if disconnected, it wont send notifications to my watch. But when I actively use the phone, connection is kept for long. When I turn off display, it drops connection maybe in 15 minutes.

I don't recommed updating the watch with Android phone! This.may have caused the issue you have right now. I would completly flash the watch with the firmware files mentiones via link in Amazfish at Openrepos. Please try this first and then report if you were sucessful!
